I love it! Engineered by Congress, the smartest people in the world. Yeah right.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't the only one having a problem with being number two. Apparently, the environmentally friendly low-flush toilets in her beloved San Francisco aren't doing the job. The toilets skimp on water and have succeeded in reducing the city's annual water use by 20 million gallons, but the unintended consequence is sludge backing up in the sewer pipes. The city has already spent $100 million in the last five years to upgrade its sewer systems and reduce the smell, but to no avail. The rotten-egg stench lingers near AT&T Park (home of the World Series champion Giants) and in several other areas downtown.
So the city's, uh, backup plan is a $14 million, three-year supply of bleach to disinfect the city's treated water, combat the odor and also sanitize drinking water. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "That translates into 8.5 million pounds of bleach either being poured down city drains or into the drinking water supply every year." As the city's population is one of the nuttier collections of leftists in the country, we've often wondered if there was something in the water. Now we know.
